Abstract

Parenting a child with a disability is a unique and challenging journey, especially in the present era, where societal expectations and evolving lifestyles intensify pressures on caregivers. Parents of persons with disabilities (PWD) face numerous psychosocial issues, such as emotional distress, social stigma, financial strain, and lack of systemic support. These challenges are often compounded by the fast-paced modern world, digital advancements, and changing family dynamics. This paper aims to explore these problems, highlight coping strategies, and discuss opportunities for interventions that can alleviate the burden on parents and improve their quality of life.
